A Full-Blooded Indian Priest.
An important addition to the
colony of missionary priests at
the Apostolic Mission House on
the grounds of the Catholic Uni-
versity of America arrived re-
cently in the person of Rev. Al-
bert Negahanquet, an Indian
priest, said to be the only full-
blood Indian Catholic clergyman
to be educated and raised to the
priesthood in this country. He
entered'the priesthood with the
avowed purpose of engaging in
missionary work among his peo-
ple, and in order to perfect him-
self in this line of ecclesiastical
endeavor has been enrolled
among the student-priests at the
Apostolic Mission House.
Father Negahanquet was born
on the Poto watamie reservation
near St. Mary's, Kan., about
twenty-eight years ago. In his
early life Father Albert, as he is
more familiarly called, chose the
priesthood for his lifework. For
his theology he studied in Rome
at the College of Propaganda,
and on his return to this country
began his labors among the In-
dians. But in his desire to do
most efficient work among his
own people he is now availing
himself of the excellent training
afforded by the Mission House.
THE EDUCATION OF THE
INDIAN.
Francis E. Leupp, Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs, appears
to have very good ideas as re-
gards Indian education. He has
issued a report wherein he de-
clares that the foundation of
everything must be the develop-
ment of character. Learning is
a secondary consideration.
"When we get to that," he con-
tinues, '"our duty is to adapt it
to the Indian's immediate and
practical needs." The Indian
boy, in the opinion of Commis-
sioner Leupp, should have a sim-
ple, English education. "Fur-
ther than this,"' he continues,
"his time could be put to its best
use by learning how to repair a
broken harness, how to straight-
en a sprung tire on a wagon, how
to fasten a loose horseshoe with-
out breaking the hoof, and how
to do the hundred other bits of
handy tinkering which are neces-
sary to the farmer who lives
thirty miles from a town. The
girl who has learned only the
rudiments of reading, writing,
ciphering, but knows how to
make and mend her clothing, to
wash and iron, and to cook her
husbands dinner, will be worth
vastly more as mistress of a log-
cabin than one who has given
years of study to the ornamental
branches alone."
"Well, my man," said a mili-
tary doctor to a patient who had
been on "low diet*' for a long
time, "how are you?"'
"Much better, sir "
"Could you eat a small chicken
today?"
"That I could, sir."
"What would you like it stuff-
ed with?'*
"Please, your honor,"* replied
the hungry patient,. *'I would
like to have it stuffed with an-
other."

Does Christmasday belong to the
Baby Cerist or to Santa Claus?
It surely belongs to the Baby
Christ. Christmasday is Christ's
birthday. To be a Christian
means to believe in Christ.
Christ said, that he had come to
save us from our sins. He also
told us what we must do to make
ourselves happy forever.
No wonder that every Christ-
ian rejoices on Christmas-day.—
When is Santa Claus' day?
What did he do? Who was he?
Santa Claus was a Bishop, the
Bishop of Myra in Lyria. When
baptized he got the name Nicho-
las. He was a holy man, that is
why they call him a Saint. San-
ta Claus means: Saint Nicholas.
This holy Bishop helped secretly
poor young folks. He died Dec.
6, 342. Therefore Dec. 6th is
Santa Claus' birthday in heaven.
Dec. 6th is Santa Claus' day.
I was born and raised across
the ocean in a country called
Switzerland'. When I was not
yet ten years old, every year a
few weeks before Santa Claus
day my mother said to me:
""Johnnie, be good and Santa
Claus will bring you something.
In the night of Santa Claus
day I laid a plate on the kitchen
table. Next morning as soon as
I awoke, I got up to see what
Santa Claus had brought me.
That night my parents gave me
a few little things in the name of
Santa Claus; they put those
presents on the plate I had laid on
that table. The very same as
my x>arents did to me. many
other parents did to their child-
ren, and do so yet. On Christ-
masday we had the Baby Christ,
but no Santa Claus.
The head of our church stays
in a city called Rome. I was
there six winters. Is there in
that city a Santa Claus on Christ-
masday? No there is not.
Here in this country, many
have a Santa Claus on Christmas
day, and the Santa Claus they
have, doesn't look like a man of
dignity, but looks like an old
jolly fellow.
How did that come?
This way. Here in this coun-
try a great many don't believe in
Christ. Just because Dec. 25th
is Christ's birthday, is no reason
why they should rejoice. But
seeing that all christians are
then full of joy, they also want
to be merry. But, because they
don't want Jesus, they have San-
ta Claus and they dress him up
in the way just mentioned.
Some of those who believe in
Christ imitate those unbelievers
and also have a Santa Claus on
Christmasday. But a great many
christians don't do that: a great
many give Christmasday to the
Baby Christ.
Rev. S. Ashly is the Episcopal
minister of this place. He never
had a Santa Claus in his church
here
Does God like to see in a church,
Santa Claus represented as a
jolly fellow who makes people
laugh? No, indeed, God does not
like that.
Does He like to see in church
the Baby Christ on Christmas
day? Yes, surely he does.
I am going to send for a little
statue representing the Baby
Christ laying in a manger. It
costs $8-50. Next Christmas that
statue will be in the church at
Cherry Creek. Louis, son of
George Fisherman is collecting
for it, but he doesn't accept from
anybody more than 10 cents. He
does so in order to give nearly
all the Catholics at Cherry Creek,
a chance, to help to buy that
statue.
What are we here on earth for?
We are here on earth in order
to do what is pleasing to God.
J. Vogel.
